Bagdadi funny sign
This is a typical sign in old restaurants such as Bagdadi @ Colaba, see map.
Click on the image to see bigger photo
![]() |
| "Food will not be served to Over drunken person" |
The sign says "Food will not be served to OVER drunken person".
So the Logic goes - If you are drunken it is OK, but not if you are over drunken! Who decides that, the manager of course, so the house always wins! Damn the manager must have a background of a Casino Management.
Don't know what is Bagdadi? I highly recommend to check out Bagdadi menu and reviews on Burrp!

When to Pray
![]() |
| Pride of Sea Captain painting by Linda Cabrera |
On one trip, the boat was full of young people. They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, as the day was fine and the sea calm.
However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to roll & pitch violently.
The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer. But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough I attend to my ship."
Here is a lesson for us......
If we cannot seek God in quiet moments of our lives; we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic. But if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then we most certainly will find him when the going gets rough !

The NEW 2012 FORD-RENAULT
Renault and Ford are working on a new small car for women, which should be far less susceptible to theft.

They are mixing the Renault Clio and the Ford Taurus, calling it the "Clitaurus."
The average male thief won't be able to find it, let alone operate the damn thing!

Don't say the Government doesn't care
LOL...this is quite mean actually
Don't say the Government doesn't care
Letter from the PM -
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of the
economy, your Government has decided to implement a scheme to put
workers 50 years of age and older on early retirement. This scheme
will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the government to be eligible
for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination).
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the
SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be
RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the government
deems appropriate.
Only persons who have been RAPED can get AIDS (Additional Income for
Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel
Early Severance). Obviously, persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not
be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the government.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on, will receive as much SHIT
(Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The government
has always prided itself in the amount of SHIT it gives out. Should
you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the
attention of your local MP. They have been trained to give you all the
SHIT you can handle.

Just Look up

THE BUZZARD:
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8
feet and is entirely open at the top, the
bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will
be an absolute prisoner. The reason is
That a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground
with a Run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space
to run, as is its habit, It will not even
attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner
for life in a small jail with no top.
THE BAT:
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a
remarkable nimble creature in the air,

cannot take off from a level place.
If it is placed on the floor or flat
ground, all it can do is shuffle about
helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it
reaches some slight elevation from which it can
throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it
takes off like a flash.
THE BUMBLEBEE:

A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will
be there until it dies, unless it is taken out.
It never sees the means of escape at the
top, but persists in trying to find some way out
through the sides near the bottom.. It
will seek a way where none exists, until it
completely destroys itself..
PEOPLE:
In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and
the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our
problems and frustrations, never realizing that
all we have to do is look up! That's the
Answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem! Just look up.
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up!
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and
trust in our Creator who loves us.

Tattoos anyone?
My son told me - Dad, I would like to have a tattoo.
I told him - No, nobody has one in our family ... and you are not having one !!!
He asked me - Why not ? All my friends have a tattoo !
I told him - It would be a stain on your body !
He pleaded with me - Dad, please, please, just a Cartoon Character on the belly ?
And after many hours of discussion I gave in and decided to let him.
After all, he was a young man with his own freedom of choice ...
and I thought ...
a Cartoon Character ... is probably not so bad!

Meher Baba - Don't Worry Be Happy
Don't Worry, Be Happy" was released in September 1988, and became
the first a cappella song to reach number one on the US charts. At the
1989 Grammy Awards, "Don't Worry Be Happy" won the awards for Song of
the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The
song's title is taken from a famous quote by Meher Baba. The original
music video stars Robin Williams and Bill Irwin.
The Indian mystic and sage Meher Baba (1894–1969) often used the
expression "Don't worry, be happy". In the 1960s, this expression by
Baba was printed up on inspiration cards and posters of the era. In
1988, McFerrin noticed a Meher Baba poster in the apartment of the jazz
band Tuck & Patti in San Francisco. Inspired by the expression's
charm and simplicity, McFerrin wrote the now famous song, which was
included in the soundtrack of the movie Cocktail, and became a hit
single the next year. In an interview by Bruce Fessier for USA Weekend
Magazine in 1988 McFerrin said, "Whenever you see a poster of Meher
Baba, it usually says 'Don't worry, be happy,' which is a pretty neat
philosophy in four words, I think."
Plus check this link out to a t-shirt made on the poster!

There are all kinds of specialty shops out there, but I didn't know that there was a super-specialty shop for "Rape"!
Visit the Rape shop here - www.khandelwaldrapeshop.com and don't forget to ask for special discounts!

Awesome SMS's
Sometimes I look at some people and wonder, "Really?? This was the sperm that won?.."
A kid asked Swami Vivekanand. "sab kuch knone se zyada bura kya hai..?" Swamiji replied "wo umeed khona jiske bharose par hum sab kuch wapas paa sakte hai!"
Bob asked his doctor if he had ever laughed at a patient. "In over 20 years I haven't. I do my best to remain professional". With that Bob dropped his trousers revealing the tiniest willy the Doctor had ever seen. it was no bigger than an AAA sized battery. Doc bursts out into uncontrollable laughter, wipes away his tears, takes a deep breath and says, "I'm sorry, I really am, It won't happen again. Now tell me how can I help you?" Bob says, "It's swollen".
"Lesser is the traffic of thoughts in your mind...
Easier is the journey of life"...have a very blissful day :)
7 Cardinal Rules of LIFE...strange but true
1.Make peace with ur past so it won't screw up the present
2. What other ppl think of u is none of ur business
3. time heals almost everyhting, give time.
4. No one is incharge of your happiness except you
5. Don't compare your life with others and don't judge them. you have no idea what there journey is all about.
6. STOP THINKING too much, it's alright not to know all the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.
7. Smile :) you don't own all the problems in the world
God upsets our plans only to setup His plan for us, because we see our present and plan our future but, He sees our future & plans our present. God bless you!
The smallest unit of TIME has both, a beginning & an end. Where the beginning and the end meet is the MOMENT. get to the moment; step into ETERNITY...Now is as good a time as any!
The Government today announced that it is changing it's emblem from the Ashoka Pillar to a condom because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance...A condom allows inflation, hatls production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of dicks and give you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed. Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate ;)

Timely Qoutes
1. Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.

-Jim Rohn
3. Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.

4. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
-Henry Van Dyke
5. One realizes the full importance of time only when there is little left of it. Every man's greatest capital asset is his unexpired years of productive life.
-P.W. Litchfield
6. Many of us spend half our time wishing for ! things we could have if we didn't spend half our time wishing.
-Alexander Woollcott
7. Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.
